Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. Boxplot of the ratio of A. urinary total (free and conjugated) cortisol metabolites, and B. lactate divided by urinary creatinine in healthy dogs and in dogs with nonadrenal disease (NAD), congestive heart failure (CHF), or hypercortisolism (HC). The horizontal lines within each box are the medians; the lower and upper boundaries of each box are the first and third quartiles; and the whiskers are the 5th–95th percentile range. The black dots represent extreme values. The letters a and b indicate significant differences of the log-transformed ratios between dog groups for each urinary metabolite (p ≤ 0.05). 6bhydroxycL = 6β-hydroxy cortisol; 6bhydroxycN = 6β-hydroxycortisone; 20bdihydrocL = 20β- dihydrocortisol; 20bdihydrocN = 20β-dihydrocortisone.
Article Snippet: The cortisol metabolite standards 6β-hydroxycortisol (CAS 53-35-0), 6βhydroxycortisone (CAS 16355-28-5), 20β-dihydrocortisol (CAS 116-58-5), and 20β-dihydrocortisone (CAS 116-59-6) were purchased from Steraloids.
